I just moved to Girona Spain from california and I need some insight on European bike brands. I have no clue about them, The only brands I recognize here are Trek, Specialized, and Scott. I greatly appreciate some help.
Since you are in Spain, I would start by looking at Orbea which is a local brand and also Commencal from Andorra just north of the border. They seem to make really nice bikes
Cheers
Now that I live in Germany, I see so many that I can't keep up with.
Ghost
Stevens
Focus
Cube
Liteville
Lapierre
Rotwild
Storck
Look
Endorfin
Merida (Taiwanese parent of Specialized)
Red Bull
Nicolai
Canyon
Bergwerks
Votec
Alutech
Nox (seeing lots of them around here)
Bergamont
and those are the ones I know make mtb's for serious use.
